Book Description

March 4, 2006
JIT Is Flow is Hirano and Furuya’s latest publication and I believe gives us for the first time in the West an extensive practical overview of JIT/Lean. This book is a wonderful addition to Jeffrey Liker’s The Toyota Way, and books by James P. Womack and others. I am sure that Mr. Ohno and Dr. Shingo would have approved.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Study of the Tools of TPS, April 17, 2006
This review is from: Jit Is Flow (Paperback)
Following Hirano's other classics 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace and JIT Implementation Manual, this book covers all the bases in describing how to implement a lean transformation of the shop floor. Unlike Shingo, Hirano is known as a great teacher and communicator, and he does a great job of describing how and why to use the core tools. As an interesting sidelight, the first part of the book has his fascinating insight into current manufacturing trends, and the last part of the book has two discussions between Norman Bodek, Eric Hager, and Pascal Dennis on standardized work and hoshin kanri.
